Hope Springs Eternal: Kerry Led Bush By 10 Points In 13 Swing States

I think Obama’s going to win, but here’s something from the “it’s not over ’til it’s over” department. In 2004, just two weeks before the election, Kerry was polling above Bush by 10 points in 13 swing states.

…a Washington Post poll shows Kerry with a significant lead in important states that could decide the outcome of the election. The poll found Kerry held a 53 per cent to 43 per cent lead among likely voters in 13 such states.

There’s a reason why we actually hold the elections.
